for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them.
After Adam and Eve's sin and expulsion from the Garden of Eden, they had to work with their hands to provide for themselves, and God dealt with the human race through their "conscience"
After the Great Flood of Noah, God began to use human governments to "govern" the world. "Governmental powers" were answerable to God, as they ruled the nations of mankind.
Gentiles are still at this place while the Jews were given God's promises and His law.
The gentile world is still in the age of government led by our consciences.
Then came Jesus who brought all who believe into the age of grace.
It is not about where you were. It is all about where He has brought you to, not what he brought you through. You are who you are because of the Cross. And the only requirement is to believe it.
Don't believe and you are still where you were under the government of this world, under the ruler of this world, Satan.
Believe and walk with Christ. He is in you and you in Him. The spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit guides us, comforts us, and teaches us all things. He will never leave us or forsake us.
I am who I am because I am says I am. Believe it and receive it.
